From Monday 18th to Thursday 21st May, QLD had GLC week and VGen members had the opportunity to volunteer at the conventions and meet many Vision Groups who attended with their school delegations. We were sharing the VGroup love from the Sunny Coast down to the Gold Coast! The GLCs were a great way to kick off the global food crisis and everyone enjoyed the workshops and loved our international speaker from Kenya, Alex. Thanks to the flooding and terrible weather we had to cancel the Gold Coast GLC but gained much interest in Vision Groups from the Sunny Coast and Brisbane conventions. Our Coolum SHS VGroup even held a fundraiser BBQ for World Vision at the Sunshine Coast GLC, warming us all up on a cold and wet day. The Gold Coast GLC has since been rescheduled so watch this space!

It is so heartening to see that there are so many young people out there who want to learn about global issues. I love being able to talk to people who are interested in and passionate about the issue of poverty. It is so inspiring! And to know that this is happening all across Australia is amazing!
